Our players represent a wealth of untapped market potential, and we hope that after reading this proposal, you will see the value in a simple advertising opportunity.

Team LgN’s Financial StructureTeam LgN does not operate for the personal profit of its organizers. All funding for Team LgN goes directly into the community through tournament prizes and expenses for the professional players (equipment, travel, etc.). The community at the-legion.net is similar, with all donations returning to the community through server costs and community events. We seek to work with companies and communities in a way that allows for a steady return on investment while supporting Team LgN’s players. Team LgN operates on a monitored team fund handled by a dedicated group of Team LgN administrators.Team LgN Partnership Proposal – lgn.the-legion.net
